Threatened Childhood

All this while, blessed by God 

I lived a life, not too old

But troubled breaths of silent trees 

Makes me pray one more please.


In swing of time, my childhood sits

One sown at dawn and tied to twigs

They fear the fall that soon arrives

Brings wind of change that swings too high.


So give them strength, oh God of Skies

To plunge their roots, deep in disguise

Unnoticed they go, I pray and pray

To keep them safe for one more day.
